Inciting: Seeing, Doing, and the Perceptual Gap involves creative and theoretical research that explores the role visual art can play in understanding sense perception, and explores its potential for new artistic works. The key question addressed in this presentation is how seeing and doing can differ yet also relate, and how one’s engagement with art can enrich this exchange. The research has pursued the correlate of object/subject as key to the notion of interactivity in art. Both the studio and the textual research explore the notion of the ‘perceptual gap’ as a breach between the object, the viewer and the phenomena.
